  Powerless by Lauren Roberts Title: Powerless Author: Lauren Roberts Genre: Fantasy Published in: 2023 Age suggestion: Young adult and up Spice-o-meter: No spice My rating: 4 out of 5 My thoughts: This book I thought was pretty good. The first half of it, I got major Hunger Games vibes from it and I was a bit nervous about how the story was going to turn out, but it got so good! Don't get me wrong, I like The Hunger Games , I just was nervous that it was going to be too similar of a storyline. There were definitely parts of it that were inspired by them, but the story took a very different turn. I got addicted to this book. It took me a while to get into (I've been reading it off and on again for a month) but I finished over half of it in a couple of days. The end had a lot of action and ended on a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next books to come out. I am definitely going to be continuing this series as it comes out. In this book, it is split perspective between a g

  The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose Title: The Perfect Marriage Author: Jeneva Rose Genre: Crime Published in: 2020 Age suggestion: 18+ Spice-o-meter: 2 out of 5 My rating: 5 out of 5 My thoughts: I've been on a really good streak lately of good books and I'm so happy about it. I know this one in particular is kind of hit or miss for some people but it was definitely a hit for me! To me, I got Law & Order: SVU vibes from it. I read it and it felt like reading an SVU episode and that's one of my favorite shows. There was a huge plot twist at the end that I definitely did not expect. I was trying to predict the ending and still didn't get it right in the end! I literally stayed up hours past when I definitely should've gone to sleep just to finish this book. I finished almost the whole thing in one day. It was addicting once I got hooked into it a few chapters in. This book was split perspective between a husband and wife. The husband, Adam, was accused of mu

  What About Me by Tiara Vazquez This post will contain spoilers! Title: What About Me Author: Tiara Vazquez Genre: Paranormal Romance Published in: 2022 Age suggestion: 18+ Spice-o-meter: 2 out of 5 My rating: 5 out of 5 My thoughts: I really loved this book! It was another Kindle read that I found because I'm in a Facebook reading group with the author and she was promoting her book. I downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited and I absolutely loved it. It isn't my normal read because I normally don't read paranormal stuff, but I wanted to read something from another undiscovered, new author. This one has probably been my favorite undiscovered book I've read. This book had a big plot twist at the end that I honestly didn't expect, and a beautiful ending in my opinion. This book was about a girl named Ivy who believed that a new woman at her fiancé's company (where she also worked) was trying to steal him from her. She had very bad anxiety and a past with infidelity,
